The EWS210AP can operate as a stand-alone Access Point connecting to third-party PoE-capable switches but more control and versatile management of the Access Point is achievable when it is part of an EnGenius Neutron Series wireless network management solution because the AP includes firmware that enables it to be immediately discovered, configured, monitored and managed from a compatible Neutron Series PoE+ Switch (EWS5912FP, EWS7928FP or EWS7952FP).

This capability enables IT managers to deploy and manage up to 50 EWS210APs from Neutron Series Switch allowing for simplified management from one browser-based interface including simultaneous firmware upgrades, clustering, traffic monitoring, bandwidth steering and many other features that can be reset or reconfigured from the convenience of the IT manager’s desktop.

Operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum and supporting 802.11b/g/n standards the EWS210P features wireless speeds up to 300 Mbps, a Gigabit port for connecting to 802.3at/af-capable PoE Switches, and an enhanced receive sensitivity MIMO (Multiple In / Multiple Out) antenna array. As a result, the EWS210AP is ideal for spacious environments such as large homes, small and medium-sized businesses, multiple-floor offices, hotels, hospitals, and other multi-floor buildings.

As the EWS210AP is designed for deployments on ceilings where power outlets may be scarce, it also comes equipped with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) IEEE 802.3at/af for use with an 802.3at/af-capable PoE injector or 802.3at/af-capable PoE Switches, drawing up to 15.6 watts of power.

To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the EWS210AP offers different industry-standard encryption settings for wireless transmissions, including WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK Mixed, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, and WPA2 Mixed Enterprise. It also includes MAC address filtering to allow network administrators to offer network access only to verified computers and devices based on their MAC addresses.

Key Features / Benefits:

NEUTRON SERIES MANAGED ACCESS POINT

Can be configured, managed and monitored with several Neutron Series Access Points from the browser-based interface of one Neutron Series Wireless Management PoE+ Switch. After a Neutron Series Layer PoE+ Switch discovers the EWS210AP it can be "added" and set to be "managed" by the Switch. The Neutron Wireless Management solution supports bulk firmware upgrades and other features that can be set and managed across deployed Neutron Series Access Points simultaneously.

WIRELESS SPEEDS

Up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz frequency band for faster file transfers and smoother video streaming.

SSID-to-VLAN TAGGING

Can be configured to broadcast up to 8 SSIDs. Each SSID can be tagged to a specified network VLAN for different user access tiers based on established access rights.
